Nintendo announced yesterday that games launching with the Switch 2 will carry a hefty price tag: $80 for digital games and $90 for physical copies (which are really just game-key cards).
The announcement of Mario Kart World has pretty much set the tone for $80 games going forward and makes that rumored $100 price point for GTA 6 evermore likely.
This price hike signals a new era for AAA gaming at least, but it also raises an important question — should we keep paying and supporting these high prices, or should we start looking elsewhere for great gaming experiences at a fraction of the cost?
